• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    I Hate To Be Negitive B-U-T

    IMHO, there are different kinds of cars/motorcycles that we are all accustomed to. Americans, Europeans, and Japanese/Koreans. I have owned and rode Japanese motorcycles for the last 45 years and they meet my expectations as far as quality goes and I get used to the design/manufacture. Yes, a...

    I think my 2020 RTL has the Covert-19 - latest Update

    Sometime you have to speak Canadian to the dealers for them to honor the warranty, heh.

    Less impressed with my dealer than I was.

    Very interesting posts. With 13 motorcycles in the last 40 years, no H-D though, I have never had to deal with motorcycles dealer service departments except couples yeas ago I took the wheels of my Vstar1300 and have the dealer install two new tires. They actually charged me for the little...

    I get a strange vibration at higher speeds...

    The vibration is an option for former Harley-Davidson owners only. Cheers.

    New Spyder owner

    Actually the RT Limited has air adjustable suspension and it will adjust accordingly. I have mine for almost 3 months now and have not had to mess around with suspension either solo or two up. Cruising 70-80 is no problem at all. Gradually I like the Spyder better than the Vstar1300 that I had...

    No discussions on oil lately. So maybe time!!!

    I'd been researching about motor oil in general and found that "synthetic blend" oils contain about 10% of genuine synthetic oil and the rest is dino oil. An no manufacturers ever specify the amount of synthetic that I've seen. Technically, it is a marketing scheme since that much synthetic...

    I am kinda wondering...

    We just simply call the Spyders/Rykers "Motortrikes" and if nobody got offended by that then we add that word to the Canadian English dictionary, heh. Cheers.

    Some people can be trained to have mechanic brains and hands, others just have to go to stealership. Cheers.

    2013 rt Limited Front trunk actuator wont actuate

    I think if the ignition is on and engine if off you can open with the switch, if the engine is running then transmission has to be in Neutral for that switch to work. Give it a try.

    Buying a Spyder

    I have a 2013 RT-L with 998cc VTwin engine and yes it runs hot specially on the left side; on the right side heat from radiator blows to your lower leg. But those problems only occur if you are in stop and go traffics on a 90 degrees day. At highway speed I did not feel the heat that bad. I...

    Reflection on gauges cluster

    Hi All, Update. I found a matte screen protector for iPhone 7 in my phone supplies box, the width of the protector fits the height of the rectangular digital display on the RT perfectly; I just trim the ends to fit the width of the display. I put on without any problem, but the display is...

    Kanine tires not certified by BRP

    "BRP Approved" means you're going to pay more MONEY for less QUALITY. I just use comparable sizes and good quality tires for my money. I got 2 Federal Formosa tires for the front and a Kumho Esta for the rear from Amazon for less than $200. I called my dealer and they said it would cost $65 to...

    Reflection on gauges cluster

    Hello All, I recently purchased a 2013 RT-L and so far I put about 800 miles on it. One thing I have noticed is the reflection of my torso on the gauges cluster, when I wear a black jacket it does not bother me as much but when I have a lighter grey jacket on I could hardly see the display due...

    One hot phone

    I recently bought a 2013 RT-L and I have noticed that the frunk does not have any kind of insulation, just the fabric liner. Has anybody here tried to install some insulation on the lid or surrounding of the frunk?

    2020 Spyder RTL - first ride

    Congrats and welcome aboard. Yet another victim of O. L. D. disease. For the same reasons, I myself recently got an older Spyder RTL and sadly sold my Vstar1300T. The good news is my wife took Can-Am training course, which costs $50, and now she can ride the Spyder whereas she couldn't ride the...

    A Real Dilemma

    Hmm. Another low mileage Spyder story. I myself bought a 2013 RTL two months ago with forty-five miles on it. Apparently it had been sitting for the last seven or so years not running and with flat tires. The dealer charged up the battery and it starts and runs fine. I got on the highway on the...

    Marsala Red 2020 RTL, used at dealership in Bakersfield

    Thats a shame. The owner should keep it and practice some more. BTW, that price seems to be a little high. Oh somebody needs to make a payment on their yatch.

    First freeway drive

    The more I read on this forum the more I think motorcyclists are having more issues riding Spyder in the first few hundred miles, myself included. I bought a RTL six weeks ago and started reading on how to transitioning to having another wheel upfront. It was hard for me for about 200 miles and...

    If Honda built a better tryke, would you buy it ??

    I would buy a Honda if they make one to compete with the Spyders at reasonable price. Over the year I've owned several motorcycles made by Honda. Some of them made from part bins, some were far advance in technology and styling, read Interceptor V45. All in all, reliability has always been top...

    What type of products do you folks use to keep your beasts looking good??

    I just use some good car wash and wax solution I have to wash mine. For the RT it's like half a small car and I think they use high quality car paint in production. Just be careful with windshield clean micro fiber for it. Cheers
